Friendly and safety conscious crew. I've been on lots of Live Aboards and this was by far the best crew!

The staff were very professional and focused, but still lots of fun! The sites looked healthy and the sea life was amazingly diverse.

The efforts of the crew to ensure maximum enjoyment. All the crew were enthusiastic and super friendly.
March delivers!
From the dive deck – By Kiana Saltarelli
The Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef welcomed Spoilsport back this week with schools of barracuda, big eye trevally and unicorn fish in the hundreds. A juvenile spotted eagle ray swam past divers at False Entrance, two silvertip sharks graced the waters at North Horn, and photographers caught the act of cuttlefish laying eggs amongst the corals of Coral Kingdom.

The care of the crew the minute we got off the plane, dive brief, checking of our dive skills. Everyone worked so hard to make sure it was perfect, and it was!
Justin Wigg - USA
The crew was top notch and made the trip uncomparable. In addition to providing an amazing and safe diving experience, the on board experience was a blast! I know why MB comes so highly recommended, and I will be continuing to pass along the high praise.

THREE DAYS OF THE BEST DIVING!
From the dive deck – By Kerrin Jones
This expedition we visited three different areas to provide guests with a variety of great diving, starting out in the Coral Sea at Bougainville Reef with lovely colourful coral walls, great visibility and plenty of fishlife. Osprey Reef delivered a hammerhead sighting and an action-packed shark feed, and Ribbon Reef #10 provided the best of the GBR, before we returned to Cairns to avoid Cyclone Trevor.

Glassy Calm
From the dive deck – By Jelle Kolet
No wind and blue skies made for rare oily calm conditions that had divers smiling from ear to ear. Endless visibility at False entrance on Osprey reef where numerous sharks, eagle rays and schooling trevally put up a show. The pinnacle dives where a hit with mantis shrimp, nudibranchs, turtles and leaf scorpion fish.
